Preparing kickoff

Approach

We arrive at kickoff with information about the business and access to what we need to review first. That leaves the meeting for resolving questions about the project.

How we work

1. We confirm the goal, initial scope, and people involved.

2. We request the files, access and references needed to get started.

3. We arrive with an agenda, key questions, and next steps.

How this connects to your business

Before meeting, we confirm the goal and initial scope, who will take part and which materials and access we need first. The meeting can then address project questions with that information available.

What to define

We keep project information in a place the team can consult. It includes the agreed work, access, decisions, measurements and pending items for each phase.

• ✓Which materials we need to start and which can arrive later.
• ✓Who approves the work, who uses the system and who receives the instructions.
• ✓What will be published, how it will be measured and what we need to review afterward.

Expected outcome

The team has what it needs to continue the project and use the delivered work, with agreements and pending items it can look up.
